I have an amazing recipe to share with you today – it’s so tasty and easy to make, you’re going to love it!
Crockpot Thai Shrimp and Rice is our new friend. This recipe combines flavorful spices, garlic, bell pepper, snow peas, coconut, jumbo shrimp, and more into an exotic-tasting dish that will take you to far away places.
Or maybe it will just remind you of a date night with your husband. But either way, you’re going to love this meal.
The best part? It’s a crockpot meal!
What’s not to love about crockpot meals? They’re such a convenient way to enjoy homemade meals on busy days. And the possibilities are nearly endless so there’s no reason to only make the same boring ol’ meals time after time.
While I have my tried-and-true slow cooker meals, I love trying new recipes to add variety. Especially as summer approaches, I plan to use my crockpot more than ever this season. (Who wants to slave over the hot stove when it’s 90 degrees and humid? Not me! I plan to be at the beach with my kids!)
And Crockpot Thai Shrimp and Rice is perfect!
With this meal, you’ll need to add the shrimp and snow peas at the end and let them cook for 30 minutes, so keep that in mind as you plan your day. For me, that’s perfect because it gives me time to unpack the kids (or whatever we were doing), wash up, and set the table, etc.
And if you don’t often buy seafood because it’s expensive (that’s me!), don’t let this one put you off.
You can buy a little less shrimp and increase the amount of veggies to save money. Or you can try what I usually do – buy one pound of shrimp and pretty much double everything else. You’ll have more veggies and rice, with a little less shrimp, and it will still taste delicious, but will make this meal more budget-friendly. Try it. We’re supposed to eat more vegetables anyways, right?

We don’t eat seafood in our house, but I bet this would work just as well with chicken 🙂

This looks absolutely delicious! I love my crockpot and use it frequently, but I do tend to get bored with the same types of recipes repeated. This one is really different with the shrimp and I can’t wait to try it!
